Preamble In consciousness of his responsibility before God and before man, and inspired by the will to serve the cause of Peace for his People and for all peoples in the world, the sovereign ruler of the Principality of Sealand, His majesty Prince Roy of Sealand, for himself and for his successors to the throne, by virtue of his constitutional authority resolves, swears and proclaims the following.
Section 1 1.1: The dignity of man is unimpeachable. To respect and preserve this dignity is the duty of all national authority. 1.2: The Sovereign and his people acknowledge the inviolable and inalienable rights of man as the basis of every human community, of freedom and of justice in the world. 1.3: The following rights are binding on the Sovereign, his successors, the legislature, the executive authority and the administration of justice, as immediately effective law.
Section 2 2.1 Everyone has the right to the free development of his or her personality, as far as this does not infringe upon the rights of others. 2.2 Everyone has the right to life and physical safety. The freedom of the person is unassailable and may be restricted only by law.
Section 3 All men are equal before the law. No one may suffer prejudice because of his or her gender, descent, race, language, native land and extraction, his or her faith or religious convictions.
Section 4 4.1 A subject of the State is that person who possesses citizenship or acquires it. 4.2: The first citizen is the Sovereign. All executive power originates from him. This supreme power is passed on to the Sovereign's heir, who is designated by him. The Sovereign designates this heir on the proclamation of this law, later upon taking over supreme power, and also designates at least the next two in line of succession. Should certain heirs or next in line of succession not be able to accept the supreme power because they have died, and should further heirs not have been appointed, the Privy Council decides upon a person as Sovereign. In the case of equal voting, the President of the Privy Council has the casting vote. 4.3: Members of the Privy Council, those entrusted with political assignments, members of the government, chargè d'affaires and members of the diplomatic service are always citizens of the State by reason of their citizenship. 4.4: Other persons acquire nationality by conferring of this by the Sovereign. An appointed consul will be given preference when laying claim to citizenship. 4.5: Legal persons and corporations who prove their domicile by registration in a register especially furnished by law for the purpose are citizens. 4.6: No citizen may be extradited at the demand of another state unless authorized by the Sovereign. 4.7: A dispossession of nationality is only permissible when as a result the person concerned does not become stateless, except where the Sovereign considers that it is necessary for such dispossession in the best interest of SEALAND or any of its citizens.
Section 5 Should for any cause or by reason of any law whatsoever, the State be transferred to another, be united with another state, or be changed into a federation, or be changed for any other reasons of whatever kind, the nationality of SEALAND continues to be valid until the possessor of its citizenship accepts the citizenship of another nation. |
